Fred,

I looked into building the version from the FC6 extras repo. My build box is KDE, but ideally one needs a Gnome devel box to build balsa.

Do you want it for i386 or x86_64? Is there anything special about your env.? On further info I might go ahead and build it.

I'm on a 32-bit x86 (Athlon) system, so if you do bother to build it that's the one I'd like.

I grabbed the latest source tarball (where'd you find the src.rpm??) from the balsa web page, and it quickly blew up (in ./configure) because of missing dependencies. It seems to want different versions of some of the libs I've already got.

Thanks for replying, and please let me know if you get anywhere with the build.

Fred

My first cut at the dependencies got this
